This podcast is a boring knock off Joe Rogan. I've tried to listen to 3 episodes now and find the host annoying. I wish he would shut up and let the interesting party speak more.

Started listening but quickly learned that his brother is the leader of some weird "alpha" "masculine" fraternity for men only and it's the main sponsor of this podcast. What the f*ck!? I stopped listening due to that enormous red flag.
